Abstract

Given a fixed "model space" M, we call a map f: X-+ Y an M-equivalence if it induces a weak equivalence f.: xM-+ yM on mapping spaces. We discuss the following question: under what conditions do homotopy colimits preserve M-equivalences? For certain M's of interest,
this is shown to depend precisely on the connectivities of the spaces.
